Liking the older truck projects. I know you need another build project (not), but you know what would be cool, keeping with the vintage projects you have, would be to build a late style C4 street Corvette canyon racer. '91 to '96 style. That is a really affordable platform to buy, and build. All came stock with formula one suspension, with the flip nose, and are easy to work on. Very light, great power plant. Even better '94 thru '96 with refined Opti. It would be a full circle move too. A lot of us subscribed when you had your early C4 project. Great content as always. Best to the Bulls.

Frame and underside of any truck if you want to get it super clean and all the "stuff" off of it, use easy off oven cleaner and a pressure washer. Takes off everything so u can recoat it and not seal rust and stuff in under paint or undercoat. Spray it wait 30 min and rinse. Works killer!!

To fix the tailgate, go to the automotive store and get "Morpar Penetrating Fluid" its great stuff. Remove the plastic latch cover and spray the mopar fluid down both hand rods as well is in the latches that are located on the sides of the tailgate. Then hold tailgate in the closed position, while leaning against the end gate pull the handle as if you are trying to open the end gate and push or release handle. Continue to pull and release handle a few times and the tailgate should start functioning properly again. Please like so he sees.

If you want this to be a proper restomod, you need cut all the rust out. It will make the finished product that much better. You need to keep it with a 90s theme, IMO. 16" American Racing Outlaw II or AR23, 285/75/16 tires (no lift) and maybe a grille update.

[@coltonellison5355]

A lot of kids could buy a truck like this for their first vehicle and realistically turn it into one of the nicest OBS chevys in town. You could be their inspiration.

I don't believe Mike knows what the term "Resto-Mod" truly means. So unfortunately I don't think you'll see a late model engine and suspension swap, which is the heart of all resto-mod projects. It would have been nice to see an LS Swap, hooked to a TREMEC TKO 5-Speed, or Magnum 6-Speed, then completely do over the suspension with nice drop and Hotchkiss suspension for road handling. And finish it off with a hot set of road wheels and tires.
